Last week, Liverpool fans were livid when there was a story doing the rounds saying that their player, Emre Can, was demanding £200,000-a-week in contract talks.

The bit of information on the Can front from The Mirror claimed he wanted to be the highest-paid player at Anfield or else he would be out the door, with his contract expiring in June.

The Germany international denied those reports with a post on his Instagram story and it was Klopp's turn to have his say in his pre-Crystal Palace presser today.

When asked about the news, the Liverpool boss responded brilliant and joked he'd asked for £250,000:

Can, a £9.75 million signing from Bayer Leverkusen in 2014, has been heavily linked with the likes of Juventus and Manchester City, who are both monitoring his situation very closely.

Klopp, however, says talks over a new deal are still ongoing.

As per the official Liverpool FC website, he said: "Where the situation is at, at the moment: open.

"That's what we [have] said before, nothing is decided, it's open. We are in talks with him and it's all good so far, apart from him signing a contract for us, that's all.

"No problem with that."

Liverpool fans, how much do you want Can to stay?
